Kinnick Stadium, Football stadium at University of Iowa, Iowa City, United States.
The stadium contains 69,250 seats arranged in a horseshoe configuration with a press box on the west side and modern video displays.
The facility opened in 1929 as Iowa Stadium and received its current name in 1972 to honor Nile Kinnick, the 1939 Heisman Trophy recipient.
The University of Iowa Children's Hospital patients watch games from their windows, leading to a tradition where spectators wave to them after first quarter.
The stadium received extensive renovations in 2006, adding new south end zone seating, media facilities, and club sections totaling 90 million dollars.
The visiting team locker room features pink walls, a design choice implemented by former coach Hayden Fry to influence opposing teams.
